assistant
Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs) are infections that occur while under care in a hospital or healthcare setting. These infections are caused by bacteria, fungi, parasitic organisms, or viruses that a patient would not have been exposed to had they not been admitted. Examples of HAIs can include pneumonia, urinary tract infections, surgical site infections, and bloodstream infections.
